- THE REALITY
MOST PEOPLE ARE unprepared.
You might have taken a class. Watched some videos. Told yourself you'd get around to it.
But real self-defense isn't learned once — it's built through consistent, structured practice. The kind you can do at home, at your own pace, guided by someone who has trained in real-world threat environments.
That's exactly what the MDS Student Library gives you.

- The founder
"I designed MDS for everyday people — not soldiers. The techniques work because they're built on how the human body actually moves under stress."
Fred Mastro has spent over 20 years in private security and close protection. He has trained armed forces and special units across the world in knife techniques, improvised weaponry, and empty-hand combat.
Drawing from multiple martial disciplines, he developed MDS to give ordinary citizens the same practical edge he trained professionals with — simplified, effective, and proven under pressure.

WHAT MEMBERS AREÂ saying
"I've tried other online martial arts programs. Nothing comes close to the quality and practicality of MDS. The weekly videos keep me sharp between seminars."
"As a woman training alone, having access to Fred's actual class recordings gives me confidence I didn't have before. The techniques are simple and they work."
"$20 a month is almost laughable for this quality. I've spent hundreds on weekend seminars — this keeps the training alive every single week."
